Undecided's Understand All Too Well !

Don't Knows Fight Back !

Listening in to the Call Kaye / Morning Call phone-in this morning on BBC Radio Scotland about the Scottish Referendum and the Obama comments.  Certainly on the phone-in Obama did not sound too certain about the point of view which he was expressing.

Heilan Coo - Undecided - which way to go ?!

However I took slight umbrage (huff ?) with one of those phoning in, who happened to be a "definite No" voter. I got the feeling from him that he was thinking that us Undecided or Don't Know voters just don't understand the debate.  However I would say that us Undecideds understand it all too well !

And in fact we are being asked to weigh up many things that are as yet undecided and will not be decided on the 18th September.
For example just on the aspect of the EU, we don't yet know if there will be a referendum in rest of UK or the UK on EU membership. It seems likely that that vote might sway towards leaving the EU. On another aspect, many of the MEPs that were recently voted in are in anti-EU parties, so we may well see reforms in the EU.
So already on just that one issue look how many aspects there are.....

And....some people are going to be directly affected in one way or another by the decision. We might hope for a strong, modern "new" European looking Scotland.....but ....... for some people there are going to be immediate affects ...   Farmers who have large EU subsidies on their farms, People working for English companies in Scotland or for companies with EU subsidies etc etc   These people could well bear the brunt of the vote for a Yes.  Whereas if you are working for a council then I suspect you would see things carry on as they are, certainly in the short term, so there is much less risk for you.
But again there has been talk of some sort of a transtition period of 2 years so I will try and find out more about that...........anyone got a good link for that ?

So respect the Undecideds and don't just see us as people who need to have their minds changed ! Maybe some of the Yes or No camp should start listening to the Don't Knows !
